Chapter 69: Chapter 69: This Kid is Extremely Wicked (Four More)
In the crowd, Morgana charged through with unstoppable force.
「In a three-story attic.」
The White-haired Protector eyed the figure on the distant street that resembled a wild bull, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Which sect does this person belong to? Such ferocity.
Even he couldn’t help but admire Morgana’s bravery.
An attendant beside him spoke up, "A member of the Profound Yellow Sect. He came bursting out of the backyard of the Jin Mansion. This person..."
His words suddenly stopped there. The White-haired Protector turned to look at him, puzzled, and said, "Say whatever you need to say."
"Reporting to the Protector, this person has some malevolent traits!" the attendant hurriedly said, "I don’t know what’s going on, but any female disciple he collides with ends up dead without exception, while the male disciples emerge unscathed."
Hmm? All female disciples died? What sort of malevolence is this?
The White-haired Protector stared at the attendant with a ’you must be joking’ expression.
The attendant nodded earnestly. He had been watching Morgana for quite some time and had personally witnessed how sinister Morgana was. Those male disciples who were struck were sent flying, at most sustaining injuries, but not a single one died. But the female disciples...
"The female disciples who were knocked down were all killed by our own people," the attendant explained, "After encountering him, the female disciples are either mistakenly killed by our own comrades, or they fall and are trampled to death by our own people, so..."
GASP—
Hearing this, the White-haired Protector involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air.
So sinister? The moment they make contact, their own people kill them?
"Is it true?" the White-haired Protector furrowed his brow.
The attendant nodded repeatedly.
At this, the White-haired Protector’s expression grew downright grim.
If it really is that sinister, won’t there be a huge problem at the City Gate? Protector Huamei, one of the Nine Great Protectors and the only female one, is there, surrounded by an entourage of female disciples. If it’s truly this sinister, then Protector Huamei... No, no, no! It has to be false. How could someone in this world specifically counteract women? That’s absolutely impossible! Protector Huamei’s power isn’t lacking; she’s considered quite formidable within the First-Grade Realm. Dealing with a mere Fourth-Grade Martial Artist should be effortless for her.
"Sir, people from the Profound Yellow Sect have emerged from the main entrance of Jin Mansion." Downstairs, a figure ran swiftly upwards.
Hearing the message, the White-haired Protector narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and pondered, "What about their Sect Leader? Have they made an appearance yet?"
"No! Only disciples of the Profound Yellow Sect have come out, and their power is considerable—some of them are very powerful." As the messenger finished, he lowered his head, waiting for further instructions.
The White-haired Protector placed one hand on the window ledge, his fingers gently tapping on the frame. Silence enveloped the elegant attic. Half a moment later, the White-haired Protector turned and said, "Deploy people to stop them! We must force them back into Jin Mansion at any cost!"
"Yes!" The messenger responded and then immediately headed downstairs.
The attendant inside the attic hesitated, seeming to have something to say. However, the White-haired Protector’s somber expression deterred him from speaking. Ultimately, he swallowed the words he had on the tip of his tongue.
This time, the Blood Demon Sect had nearly mobilized in full force. Even the Imperial Court wouldn’t be able to react swiftly enough. This power was enough to annihilate any Jianghu force within the Great Qian Dynasty. The small Profound Yellow Sect is nothing to be feared.
"Send a message to our leader that Fengxiang Prefecture City is about to fall into our hands. The Xuanhuang Sect Leader has hidden and hasn’t shown their face. Do I need to personally take action?"
Having said this, the White-haired Protector’s gaze returned to the street outside.
The lives and deaths of the common people don’t concern them. The most important thing right now is to capture Fengxiang Prefecture City! This time, the Elders and the Sect Leader have hardly made a move; it’s up to the nine... no, eight Protectors. Their purpose is singular: Kill Xu Nian! The Nine Dragon Key was an unexpected bonus; the Blood Demon Sect certainly wouldn’t miss it. But killing Xu Nian is the Task given to them by the Sect Leader. As for why, they don’t know. Mobilizing so many people to kill a single First-Grade Martial Artist is indeed baffling. This operation has completely exposed the Blood Demon Sect; such a large commotion must have been noticed by the Imperial Court. Even their enemies in the Jianghu might get involved. This is the scenario they least want to see. Three Protectors have already died trying to kill Xu Nian. If this drags on, who knows what other troubles will arise? Moreover, these disciples of the Profound Yellow Sect are all lunatics, every single one of them seemingly fearless of death. That’s what truly gives him a headache.
「At the City Gate.」
Evil Queen Morgana had already charged over, and the pursuing disciples had promptly surrounded him. They were now terrified by this brute.
What kind of person is this? He’s like a rampaging chariot!
At the City Gate, a woman dressed in a teal dress, revealing a pair of pale, long legs, was smiling at the charging figure. After sizing him up, she chuckled, "All of you, stand back. We’ll handle this person."
The disciples of the Blood Demon Sect dispersed to lend aid elsewhere.
Evil Queen Morgana looked at the woman in front of him and scratched his head. "I don’t hit women. You might as well step aside. I’ll just close the gate and leave."
"Oh? You don’t hit women?" The woman smiled seductively and stepped forward, swaying gracefully.
Evil Queen Morgana also sized up his opponent, mentally comparing this woman to his idol, Queen Morgana.
After some comparison, this woman before me is a complete failure! Her figure is no match for Queen Morgana, and her "assets" are even less comparable. Her legs aren’t as long as the Queen’s either; I don’t know how she has the nerve to show them off. The game artists really messed up, huh.
This woman was, naturally, one of the Nine Great Protectors, Protector Huamei. Learning that her opponent had charged all the way from the back door of Jin Mansion, unstoppable along the way, she was witnessing such ferocious valor for the first time.
Such a strong man... he must be delicious to "devour."
Seeing Protector Huamei approach, the female disciples around her also revealed knowing smiles. It was clear that this man had caught Protector Huamei’s eye. Any man targeted by her wouldn’t be able to get out of bed the next day. So, the implication was clear to them.
"How about we don’t fight then?" Protector Huamei reached out and grasped Evil Queen Morgana’s collar, whispering with a light laugh, "Let’s go somewhere else to play. Don’t worry, little brother, big sister will take good care of you, leave you utterly ecstatic."
Watching the pale, jade-like hand clutching his collar, Morgana’s lips twitched.
"Uhm..."
Just as he was about to speak, a Thunderbolt in Clear Sky suddenly erupted above Fengxiang Prefecture City.
BOOM—
There wasn’t a single cloud, yet the thunder was so sudden and loud. The entire Fengxiang Prefecture City fell into dead silence at that moment, everyone stunned by this unexpected thunder.
Evil Queen Morgana, seeming to sense something, instinctively broke free from Protector Huamei’s grip and hurriedly darted towards a corner.
"Heh heh heh... Men. Are you always in such a hurry?" Protector Huamei licked her lips and said with a smile, "I was even thinking of bringing my sisters along. We’ll be sure to make you..."
Before she could finish her words, a thunderbolt suddenly descended from the sky. A barrel-thick bolt of blue lightning fell from the heavens, striking right where Protector Huamei stood...
